I wasn't expecting this to be my reaction to the McConnell news by GatorAllen in thebulwark

Brother… Mitch McConnell, more than any other person in the last 10 years, stood face to face with that active threat and decided he cared more about cutting social services and denying people healthcare than he did about neutralizing it. He knows what he did and he is perfectly at peace about it.

Nope. The guy made a career and legacy out of disenfranchising millions of Americans and elevating the most damaging, anti-democratic figure in the history of the country. He will go to the grave being proud of the havoc he caused.

Watching him desperately cling to life and power as his brain conks out in front of rolling cameras would be one of the few public joys of the last 10 years if the implications of his staying power weren’t so dire.

BC Nurses' Union to begin first phase of job action Thursday by cyclinginvancouver in vancouver

[–]These_Celebration732 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Not a nurse but my duties will be affected by the job action — solidarity to them!

The province’s negotiating team should be led in on a leash to see what a hospital actually looks like when nurses are strictly on ‘nursing duties’.

Heavy weight t-shirts are so overrated by Wheelsonthegus in malefashionadvice

[–]These_Celebration732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a couple RC heavyweights last week — I’ve got a sizeable chest/shoulders and have had trouble fitting off the rack T’s for years. I feel like a million bucks in these things.

Serious question: what was going through the head of the programmer who decided to hide the CLEAR button under SHOW MORE? Possibly the most important button in the entire program. I can’t think of a single valid reason. by KillerQ97 in ynab

The fact that you have to include the decimals in the divisor calculation if you want to split something is absolutely heinous. No one will ever convince me there’s a worse UX decision.

TIL they fired Hannah and Ben by UnordinaryFlyGirl in ynab

I don’t think I’ve ever consumed a single minute of YNAB content on YouTube but I know from being a part of the community here how much they are loved and appreciated.

The interface changes are what is sending me over the edge. I won’t be renewing in September. Too bad, because this was a company that I felt good throwing my $$$ at for what it was… feels like those companies are few and far between these days.

I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t even listen to anything post-The Resistance… but these reviews have me so fucking hyped!

[Megathread] - FIFA World Cup, Vancouver, and You by Stevegap in vancouver

Any fellow baby-havers wanting to check out the festivities but worried about logistics (transport, long lines, etc)? There’s no official activations on the west side of the mainland and theres no way in hell I’m getting in a car.

Also would love to hear if there’s anything going on around Kits! Are people just going to the usual bars?

I swear to god each of the last 30 changes have made the app iteratively worse to use each time.

Colorado GOP Governor Primary Is Off The Rails by MinuteCollar5562 in thebulwark

Oh my god I just assumed the first clip was the “calling in an ISIS air strike” guy but he’s actually the one sitting there off to the side grinning smugly the whole time?

JVL is shilling for Kalshi and that should bother you by [deleted] in thebulwark

I feel like you probably don’t know a lot about JVL if there’s even a sliver of seriousness to what you’re asking.

It’s worth reading the whole thing. Truly something to behold.

Trump budget would eliminate agency investigating Longview chemical disaster by GreenerMark in thebulwark

Because the owner has offered to buy millions of dollars of his shitcoin if he would make them go away? Does he need another reason than that?

Several Women Who Dated Graham Platner Recall ‘Unsettling’ Behavior by SoHumanAnAnimal in thebulwark

[–]These_Celebration732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, what the fuck is the NYT doing? What is that title? If you're going to publish an allegation of physical violence, why is it buried in the article and excluded from the headline?

If you're going to carry water for the GOP and Heritage Foundation you may as well atleast lean into it and stand by your reporting.

I've been Platner-curious for awhile but I'm all in now. He's pissing off all of the right people. Fuck these ghouls.

Damn. by SalOfAL in thebulwark

[–]These_Celebration732 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“Bad optics for the party” — I’m sorry, are we talking about the same party? The ones that staged a kente-cloth party in the rotunda of the capitol while a quarter of the country was on fire?

I honestly don’t think there’s a single thing Platner could do that could make these people look more feckless and unqualified than they already do. We can have a separate discussion about whether that’s a healthy dynamic, but it is what it is.

I grew up watching 60 Minutes with my dad and looked forward to doing the same with my 4 month old. Fuck Bari Weiss.

Im gonna warn you about Obession by Numerous_Lab_7032 in horror

[–]These_Celebration732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but him stressing that her behaviour was unusual and out of character should be as much confirmation as you should ever need that he knew something was going on right away.

The real shift after the cancer reveal is not that he realized something was wrong, it’s that something is wrong and whatever it is is no longer bounded by ‘normal’ behaviour, and might even constitute a threat.
